| Project Detail |
In Jordan, the access to inclusive, protective quality education for vulnerable young people is impacted by natural and human-made hazards, including the protracted Syria crisis and climate change. Switzerland’s contribution to UNESCO for the System Strengthening Partnership Programme of the Ministry of Education enhances governance for evidence-based and crisis-sensitive education planning and delivery, as per Jordan’s Education Strategic Plan 2018-2025.
In Jordan, structural fragility, the COVID-19 pandemic with its economic impact, climate change and multiple refugee crises are affecting the education sector. From the onset of the Syrian crisis, refugee children have been able to access Jordanian public schools, and many will continue with vocational education. Despite this inclusion policy, 40% of Syrian refugees aged 12-15 are out of school, compared to 4% Jordanians. The Ministry of Education (MoE) is committed to implementing its first Education Strategic Plan (ESP) 2018-2025 that provides a roadmap towards a more crisis-resilient education system through coordinated action around critical reforms. Switzerland supports the education sector in Jordan aligned to its Cooperation Programme Middle East 2019-2024 with coherent interventions in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, to respond to humanitarian needs and to address root causes of fragility.
Objectives The overall programme goal of the System Strengthening Partnership Programme is to ensuring access to inclusive and protective quality learning for vulnerable children and youth, through evidence based and crisis-sensitive education planning and delivery. |
